[Sugar-devel] Parental controls (UPDATE)

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi

You say "For this  GUI to reach a wider user base, parental controls  
are therefore  needed."

Can you please expand on this. Why are these controls needed? In which  
circumstances would they be enabled? Which releases would be controlled?

Historically, Sugar and OLPC have been based on a philosophy of  
empowering the user. "Hacking" has been facilitated by Sugar as  
default and only disabled if at the specific request of a deployment.

The security you propose could possibly be bypassed by reflashing with  
another image or by hacking the Browse Activity?
